Cloggy: Yoiks! (Is that the same insect as they had to keep in their mouth at one of the last episodes of 'I'm a Celebrity'?)

GordonG: i missed that episode of Celebrity so i'm not sure - but the males have quite spikey legs so i'd imagine it'd be quite painful!

GordonG: don't think it was - the ones in those pics look too pale and skinny. either way i'm not sticking it in my mouth!
